A man was killed in a shooting in the Marquette Park neighborhood Wednesday afternoon on the Southwest Side.

Brian B. Winters, 33, was standing outside a home at 2:12 p.m. in the 7300 block of South Rockwell when a person walked up and shot him in the head and chest, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Winters, who lived on the same block as the shooting, was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead at 3:13 p.m., authorities said. An autopsy Thursday ruled his death a homicide.
